OC WILD Lacrosse Club
Committed to helping players develop on and off the field. Our mission is to teach our players hard work ethic, respect, integrity, and discipline which will carry on through the rest of their lives. Each player responds differently to certain coaching styles and we do our best to provide a quality program that works for both the player and the parents. Our experience in this foundation of character and culture has lead to more efficient growth throughout the player's lacrosse career and life. We are the premier destination for all things lacrosse in the Orange County, California area. WILD Lacrosse is dedicated to developing young players, first, as individual people of integrity character, and empathy and second, as athletes, promoting the great sport of lacrosse and providing a platform for players to grow and thrive in the sport.
